Re: Seattle area GT in May?

Okay. I got a date with the party barn and also talked to Mike at PTS. We are going to hold it on May 28th. Hopefully this will give everyone a chance to get it on their calendars.
We will do a potluck with burgers and hot dogs again probably.
Let the planning begin.

Re: Seattle area GT in May?

Hi guys and gals,
Iím starting to get excited thinking about this get together.
PTS will giveaway lots of flashlights and have some very special deals for the flashlight enthusiasts that attend.

Iíd like to give a BIG thanks to Skeptic for getting this party started.

Cheers,
Mike S

Re: Seattle area GT in May?

Hope to make this one. I have saved the date.
Way to go Skeptic for the arrangements, thank you!
Death Ray will be aboard, as well some of my silly/functional apparati. Looking forward to this. See y'all there!

Re: Seattle area GT in May?

I'd be interested, but the only time I am up north is the weekend of the 15th for the WAC gun show.

Hi coctailer,
I usually work the WAC show but that's the one weekend I'm not going be there. I'm playing hooky and going Halibutt fishing out of West Port.

Next time you're going to attend the WAC show you'll have to stop by our tables. We usually have the complete Fenix line, EagleTac and now JETBeam & ThruNite. Be happy to give you a smoken deal at the show! It's best to contact me a day or two before the show to check for availabity.

Cheers,
Mike S

I will be bringing the 36 inch Gorilla for sure, (hopefully with an HMI bulb, but the current one works well, if I have to...). I'm looking at ways to bring the 50 inch Monster. It is amazing to see how well it can through the light from a large bulb such as a 40 watt CFL.

Re: Seattle area GT in May?

LightSward, I have a single-ended 1200 Watt HMI & ballast somewhere on the test shelf. Should I get that gear out to bring along or are you good to go?
I think I have an older double-end GEMI you might like to check out.

Re: Seattle area GT in May?

This is sounding like people have gotten this on their schedule. Time to start sending messages to as many people as you can.
Do we have the Wiki available again to coordinate the potluck and get a count of people?
I have at least 4 coming. More than likely a few more than that actually.

Mike is planning on having some door prizes.

Hamburgers and Hot Dogs provided. Potluck for the rest. If you can sign up for what you are planning to bring that would help.

Re: Seattle area GT in May?

There are two of us coming. I have been trying to find a hotel very close to the barn as last time was to far to drive home the same night. Got any names? Google only has the main ones on I5 out in Renton

Re: Seattle area GT in May?

I'm bringing the 36 inch Gorilla, and maybe the Mini LightSward. I could not get an HMI in time, (leaving home for a few weeks), I will use it with the 600 watt standard large arc HID bulb, which still produces a nice beam, and maybe hook up the panning mechanism. I hope to pick up some gear at the get together and make it shine much brighter 2012!

Re: Seattle area GT in May?

Sounds good.

I'll try and bring a small portable workshop with me to help with a possible HMI light focusing of the Gorilla.

(I actually have a direct phone number to the concerned FAA office for such things; as searchlights shining about airplanes). I live near a busy flight line of business jets, who sometimes fly through my searchlight beam... I contacted FAA about this, (before and after, I lit any airplanes), and was told, my searchlight has been seen by pilots, but the way I operate it, in a non threatening, predictable manner, it is not considered a nuisance. He said some pilots kind of think of it as an occasional welcome beacon.

I'll be away from internet access for a few days or so...nice and warm.

Re: Seattle area GT in May?

Blah! been awhile since i've used the vB software again. this is so de ja vu. (a few friends may know to what i'm referring to) anywho...

I'm gonna try and make it as i just bought this bad boy, for the roof of my jeep, however i won't have it installed, but i can still bring it along for some viewing pleasures.
I dont know what a google group is, shows how much out of the loop i am. But I'll probably show up with a plate of cookies or something.
Sounds like a good turnout. Hope to see you there!
